Andreas a young solitary taxi driver, part of a modern chaotic mega city,lives his own life through the stories who get in and out of his cab. Maria, one of the kind, leads him to a dangerous game where the boundaries between lies and truth and between hatred and passion, can barely be sensed.

Sotiris is a financial editor at a local newspaper, living a mundane life, until he locks eyes with the gorgeous Olga at a Russian expat Christmas party. Unable to get her out his head, he starts looking for the girl of his dreams, only to find himself immersed in a dark and dangerous world, where the difference between illusion and reality will soon be made abundantly clear.With Zenia Kaplan as the proverbial femme fatale, Savvas Karydas explores the twin concepts of escape/dream and dead-end/deceit.
